I know that the car’s logos and livery will possibly change from event to event so I will do my best to update it to reflect its progression though the 2014 season.
I spent a good amount of time on the vent/body work but I know the fenders still bother me and could use some work and the hole in the trunk that exposes the rear mount radiator and battery isn’t perfect but I did my best to model that without many correct source pictures at my disposal. Other reps I saw did not even bother to model these. I will also update these in time.
I hope you enjoy this replica as much as I do…
Thanks DIS Impulse for these pictures:
Just search for: “Essa” in the livery finder thing.
Wow nice job. I was in the process of making this Livery myself, but due to work haven’t had time to finish it yet. I have done the base and have to make the manufacturer logos. You have done a great job. But you were nit picky on others’ designs so I will do the same for yours!
I always encourage critiques and don’t claim any rep I do to be perfect but could you be more specific or provide pictures to these missing graphics or logos?
It’s strange because I’ve based this livery off of up close pictures a friend of mine took while at Long Beach last weekend.
You need to get off of what the hell you’re smoking lol. There’s nothing missing and you know it. You just wanna be a hardass. “Incorrect sizing” lol foh man.
For starters the GIANT Bilstein logo on the boot of the car is missing. The “Eggs” in the Newegg logo are too big, wrong colour on one of the arch’s on the left side of the car. The sizing of a lot of the manufacturer logos are bigger then on the actual car. Alignment of the Essa Autosports logo and the stripes.
Maybe you need to stop smoking whatever the hell your smoking and open your eyes. He was being nit picky on others designs so I did the same to his. It was simply constructive criticism
Not taking any sides in this. But its not constructive criticism when you do it because he was “nit picky” on someone else’s design.
Constructive Criticism isnt constructive when its meant as payback out of spite.
It was hardly done out of spite. I’m nit picky on all designs I see on Forza Regardless of who made it. He said he was nit picky of others designs and noticed mistakes. I simply pointed out mistakes he had made with his. Didn’t take long for his teammate to jump in attack mode because he thought the design was being negatively criticized.
Anyone who says they are nit picky and has said they noticed mistakes on others designs need to be prepared to receive flak if there design isn’t up to scratch. I didn’t even have to expand on the area’s that he made mistakes with but I did. The Small details that are overlooked by others are what sets apart the designs that were thrown together and the ones that went the extra mile to match it as close as possible. I’ve stated what I noticed that need fixing, now it’s up to DIS Boppinz to alter or fix it if he see’s fit to.
I never said it wasn’t good. I actually complemented his design and then pointed out things I noticed that needed improving. Never said it was easy either. I know it’s not. I have my own version I’m working on

Yes I’ll certainly be updating this when I have the time. I have a friend taking some source pictures for me in ATL so hopefully I can get a good eye of the cars body work from those pictures.
Curtis does have a point, after looking again i noticed where the design could be better and there indeed are mistakes. My mistake was building the original base off the first render that was posted on facebook. I double-checked before i posted the design but i should have checked again.
I certainly could have worded the original post better, i didnt mean to come off as arrogant but apparently i did. I was bound to get heat for it.
While i know he was only trying to stick up for me and i cant fault him for that, I apologize for the drama this thread has caused already.
I strive to make anything i do as close to correct and perfect as possible so ive already corrected most of whats been mentioned and will re-upload an updated more correct version asap and ill take down the old one if possible.
If you’ve downloaded this already, I’m sorry, please download the correct version when its available.
Thank you everyone. Again i apologize if you already downloaded v1 but i have finally finished V2 and I’ll have updated pictures in the OP soon.
Please search designs either by my gamertag:
DIS Boppinz
Or
Mike Essa 2014
Details fixed in the update:
Entire base design is now more accurate sizing and color.
Incorrect base colors on passenger side.
Missing logo on trunk.
Re-sized and positioned sponsor logos on side.
Re-sized vents on roof.
Small other fine details.
The more i worked on the car the more i realized how off and difficult the design was to get accurate.
V1 has now been removed from the storefront thing. I hope you all enjoy V2 and look for an update in RD Atlanta if the car changes. My plans for next version is to start properly painting the wide body.
